Helen Mirren and her husband Taylor Hackford have relisted their exquisite and historic Hollywood home for $17 million, more than a year after they first put it on the market for $18.5 million.
The hilltop couple have called the residence their home for over 30 years and in 2021 attempted to sell the property while also listing it as a rental for $45,000 a month.
A contract was struck for the home shortly after the property was put on the market, but nothing ultimately came of it, Architectural Digest reported, citing public records.
Now potential buyers have a second chance to call the stunning property home — and for a million dollars less than what it was first listed for.

The 10,200 square foot property sits on 6.5 acres with sophisticated landscaping and mature trees and sits at the top of a winding driveway. It includes a guest house and a total of eight bedrooms and 11 bathrooms.
Built in 1911, the home has beautiful period finishes, including great rooms, French doors that open onto Hollywood Hills, a paneled library, hardwood floors, and large hearths in the fireplaces.
A very special space is the cozy bar, complete with stylish bar stools and a comfortable sofa and chairs for an intimate evening of sumptuous conversation.
The large formal rooms and outdoor living area with fairy lights are ideal for large groups and family gatherings, with relaxed interior and exterior design that takes full advantage of sunny California weather.

Outside, the fenced, manicured grounds offer a large swimming pool with diving board and enviable views of downtown Los Angeles that combine tranquility, privacy and convenience.
The separate guest house offers three bedrooms and there is also a five car garage with an office and apartment above.
It’s easy to see why the Queen actress, 77, and her American director husband, 78, have stayed in the sprawling home for so long and are now leaving as they’ve spent increasing amounts of time away from California.

Coldwell Banker Realty’s Stephen Apelian said the couple decided to sell the home “because they’re spending more and more time out of state,” according to Mansion Global.
The star couple snagged the standout pad in the 1990s, becoming the latest in a line of big names to live there.
Past owners include Dustin Farnum, star of DeMille’s Squaw Man, writer and producer Mark Hellinger, and Gail Patrick, executive producer of the popular 1950’s/60’s television series Perry Mason, where the house was sometimes used as a filming location for the show.
